About this Book:

The princely states of pre-independent India threw up many charismatic leaders, political stalwarts and influential princes. Among the more dynamic was Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner (1880–1943). Inheriting a strife-ridden kingdom as a mere adolescent of eighteen, Ganga Singh showed leadership and wisdom well beyond his years, effectively reining the warring factions and carving out a meticulous and farsighted plan of progress for Bikaner, which he executed with remarkable success. Widely acknowledged for his prowess as a warrior, he was soon regarded as an able statesman and visionary, both nationally and at international forums, many of which he attended as India’s representative.
